Summary
In the aftermath of the war, the crew of the Normandy struggle to comprehend the loss of their commanding officer. Major Kaidan Alenko is thrust into a role he is not ready for, and he has to do it while mourning the woman he loves.
Fast forward six weeks, Commander Faith Shepard is found alive but drastically changed, with significant memory loss that erases her recollection of the Reapers and other critical events. There's no logical explanation for her survival, hinting at something more sinister.
The crew have to come to terms that Shepard is alive, but doesn't remember their shared history.
Pairing is Shenko, with a little diversion here and there. They're my ♥ what can I say? I just love tormenting them.
This Story Is Now Complete, As Is the Second One.

Summary
Many died during the Reaper War, many lost everything, their homes, their family, their loves. Those who lived had to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. We know of the Normandy and the heroes aboard the mighty ship. This is not their story. This is a story of a soldier, no acclaims to honor his name, no great tales spoken of his heroism. He fought for earth, for his family, for his love. This is his story, his journey and his recovery from the events witnessed and experienced.
It begins Post Reaper War, referencing his experiences through flashbacks, journal entries, dreams and third person narrative.

Summary
When the Citadel was blasted to pieces, no one thought Shepard could have possibly made it out alive, but when the Alliance recovers him, intact and breathing, from the wreckage, things change for both the better and the worst. While Shepard is ecstatic to be reunited with his crew, a new threat looms over the horizon, one hellbent on making Shepard wish he had perished in the explosion: a fanatical group calling themselves "The Phantoms". When Shepard learns that his cybernetic implants are just as valuable to others as they are to him, he seeks to find more information about their significance, and discovers more than he thought he would. There's a race against the clock to repair the internal damage before his own time in the galaxy runs out-- for good.

Summary
When Kaidan had asked for a moment of Shepard’s time at that little café on the Presidium, he had not expected to hear what he wanted, but he had hoped for it.
When Shepard had turned him down, Kaidan had received his answer, and he had enough sense to quit while he was ahead.
Shepard had thought it through. He had weighed all his options. He had made the right decision.
So why does the twinge in the pit of his stomach now feel distinctly like regret? -

So this is my first fic in a while, and it may be a little rusty, so be gentle. This was supposed to be a quick tumblr fic to make me feel better after the end of Mass Effect 3, but my hand slipped and it’s 6800 words.
Description: The one where Kaidan finds Shepard after the final battle, and makes him promise never to leave again. Kaidan POV, there’s light angst, fluff, intense biotic descriptions, and team banter. And EDI's not dead. Enjoy!
